In 1986 a political operative in Texas called a press conference to say that the Democratic opponent of his boss had bugged their offices. The FBI and police investigated it and dropped the case. That Republican operative was none other than Karl Rove.

So crying wolf and using the police to try and garner some sort of public sympathy for your candidate has a history in the Republican Party. It should also come as no shock that Todd was working on behalf of the very organization Rove once ran – the Young College Republicans.

Perhaps it is time to really start questioning the GOP and their tactics. Even if there is no sign of collusion, there is still a the question surrounding the previous actions by Karl Rove, someone thought of highly by young college Republicans and the impact it may have had on Ashley Todd.
